Artist Talk: Maximilian Uriarte

Join us for a talk by Maximilian Uriarte, the creator of “Terminal Lance,” the most popular comic strip in the military, and the New York Times best-selling graphic novel The White Donkey: Terminal Lance (2016).

“Terminal Lance” is drawn from Uriarte’s experiences in the Marine Corps, where he served two tours in Iraq, first as a turret gunner in 2007 and then as a combat artist and photographer in 2009, rising to the rank of Lance Corporal. Using his post-9/11 GI Bill, he received a BFA in Animation from California College of the Arts. Selected drawings from The White Donkey, based on Uriarte’s first deployment to Iraq, are on view at the Zimmerli through December 30, 2018 in conjunction with Self-Confessed! The Inappropriately Intimate Comics of Alison Bechdel.

Presented with the support of the Rutgers Army ROTC, Navy ROTC, and Air Force ROTC, SAS Honors Program, Honors College, and the Undergraduate English program
